FIFTY years is a long time to reign, and
the queen of Great Britain and Ireland
has sufficient cause to iubilate. Not all
Of her subjects, however, are in like
frame of mind. Ireland, for instance,
finds no reason for gratitude, unless it be
that the threatened oppression has been
so long delayed. The reign of Victoria,
like the reigns Of her predecessors Eliza
beth and Anne, has been glorious, but
the sovereign can claim small personal
share in the glory and greatness Of her
people, which she has promoted very
much as the gilded fgurchead may be
said to control the course of the vessel it
chances to ornament. So far as it cele.
brates any feature peculiar to the reign,
as a reign, the jubilee is i'll timed, but as
marking a period of unexampled progress,
material and political, it commentaries
an era without a parallel in the history of
the human race.

Sheridan and Grant Contracted.

Gen. Sheridan visited the Capitol on
the 9th of February, 1867, and was
warmly ~applauded, especially in the
house, where he made a neat little
speech, short, quickly spoken, boldly
uttered and in every wa characteristic
of the a Gen. Grant accompanied
this unequalled young soldier, and it was
noticeable by all present how great tho
contrast between the two men. There
was but little difference in their size;
Sheridan, however, was the smaller. and
hence his sobriquet of the Little Cor
poral;' but the manner of the two men
was widely different. Grant seemed 50
reserved, so modest, so abashed at the
the august presence before him, and yet
who so distinguished as he? while Phil
seemed well at home, and displayed an
air of perfect self possession refreshing to
behold. While the speaker was intro
ducfng him to the house he stood in Ma
poleon's favorite position, with arms half
a-kimbo, and after his little speech of
thanks he bounced off the platform
around the speakers stand into the area
before his desk, just as he would have
leaped from his horse and walked to his
tent, The hand shakings were long con-
tinued, and his remarks were full of the
sparkling wit and vivaciousness so char
acteristic of the Irish stock.
And yet, though 50 bold, so perfectly
sang froid, there was nothing offensive in
his demeanor, nothing overstrained or
put on; all seemed as graceful, as be-
coming as did the victor plume on the
jaunty hat of the dashing, world start
ling hero, who. in the history
of our land shall be memorable for his
brilliant deeds at Winchester on that
dark day when, in the midst of rout and
defeat, he was twenty miles away"
and yet, thanks to a horse full of mettlc
and heroic as his leader, smelt. the battle,
gained the field, r~eorganized an army out
of disorganized masses of men and
wrested victory from defeat, as did the
cross of st. George from the eagles of
France at Waterloo.-Ben: Perley Pore

The virtue, of ''sacoharlne."

The new chemical sweet is said to be a
perfect and Interchangeable antiseptic. 1t
is not susceptible to fermentation like
the cane and grape sugars. 1t will keep
yeast for years, and preserve Strawberries
and other p~erishable fruits any length of
time in the same condition they are when
gathered from the garden. 1t is not
necessary to cook them or to keep them
in vessels Theoretically sealed. 1t is also
said to he strictly anti-drebetic, and it is
recommended by leading German physi-
claus or persons who can not eat any
ordinary kinds of s~weetening. APP
parently ''saccharine" will beof no value
as food, for it is said to pass through the
organs of digestion unchanged. But as
n condiment it will be as valuable as
sugar. and as a preserver of many articles
of food it will have no equal.
1t Is thought hat ''saccharine' viii be
extensively used for combining with
glucose in proportions that will make the
latter substance the equal of cane sugar.
If this can be done, and German experts
state That it is practical, the making of
glucose will be more profitable than ever
before, while the industry of cane grow
ing and sugar refining will be likely to be
destroyed. If this substance will pre-
serve all kinds of fruit without the trou-
bic and expense of cooking them, there
will be no business for canning factories,
or at least for those that do not put up
meat, fish and vegetables. This sub
stance will be likely to be extensively
used in all places where freights arc
high, us two pounds of it would repre-
sent rs much sweetness as a barrel of
sugar, and a package containing that
amount could be sent through the mail

A LEADING manufacturing firm in Gin
cinnati has introduced the French idea of
cooperation among its workmen by an
arrangement to divide all profits among
them after allowing the proprietors reason
able salaries for management and supervi
sion and 6 per cent on the capital invested.
A similar plan has been tried with very
favorable results, in several OF the manu-
featuring countries OF Europe. 1t relieves
proprietors of all apprehension of strikes
and emancipates the workmen from the
arbitrary dictation of executive commit
tees and walking delegates.

The Trade of Marriage.

The usual retort, when women complain
of want of remunerative employment, is
that they should not work, but find men to
support them. As there are SOC, 900 more
women than men in England, it is OBJ
viously impossible that every woman
should have a husband. This state of
things is as bad in Germany also. The
preponderance of the women over the men
is greatest in the professional and upper
middle classes. Among the richer aristoc-
racy of England, and the absolutely work
ing people, the sexes are still equal in num-
Der, and women can still marry. But the
sons OF cle-gymen, officers, civil servants,
lawyers, doctors, and some of the country
gentry find the struggle for existence too
great in this kingdom they emigrate, or
leave the country by joining the military
or naval service. Their sisters all remain
at home, unable to find husbands, and I'M
educated tor work, ever domestic work.
These "superfluous women" most I'M
doubleday, as a body, perform the first
duty of their sex-that of being charming;
they are often handsome, are generally we'll
hammered, and well dressed. Thew are
" charmers," but there is no one to charm.
They know very well that their chances of
marriage are almost MI; therefore, should
a solitary sutton with even a modest COM
potency appear, they feel driven to accept
the first man who asks them, whether they
care for him or not, and most generally
they do not. Their parents wish to get rid
of them, so they marry without love. An
evil arises out of this, more CHASTITY than
can be described. The marriage of con-
venance is a recognized social institution
abroad. In England, in this nineteenth
century, the women of the upper middle
classes adopt 1T without acknowledging it.
However we may affect to deny it, there is
a vast amount of married unhappiness in
all classes. The fault is sometimes as
cribed to the present degeneracy of women
and sometimes to the deterioration of the
men. The fault really lies in our social
system, which gives a woman neither work
nor money and obliges her to sell herself
before she has lost her only salable COM
modities-youth and beauty. As there ex-
lists four "superfuous women to one
man, the female has no choice, while the
lordiy male has the greater number from
whom to pick and choose. Therefore, in this
country, many women have not only no
chance of marrying at all, but no freedom
of selection whatever.-The National Re

What True Merit VIII Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within a few years has aston
ished the world. 1t is without doubt the
safest and best remedy ever discovered for
the speedy and effectual cure of Coughs,
Gods and the severest Lung troubles. 1t
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up a Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in a
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save doctors
bills and a long spell of serious illness.
A trial will convince you of these facts. 1t
is positively sold by all druggists and gen.
eral dealers in the land. Price, 10 cents,
large bottles.
